Alternative paid contribution disclosure policies

Translate this page

Disclosure of paid contributions to any of the Wikimedia projects is a requirement under the disclosure provision of the Terms of use. Nonetheless, individual projects may create an alternative disclosure policy when their projects or communities have particular needs to either strengthen or reduce the requirements.

The provision gives communities discretion to adjust the rules for their specific community after following the project's standard consensus-based process for establishing core policies.

Adopting an alternative disclosure policy requires consensus, consistent with the project’s past practice and local understanding of what consensus is.

After creating such a policy, projects must include their policy here. This list will help editors and sister projects to quickly discover what the local project policy for paid editing is, or if the default applies.
